Pakistan pace sensation Mohammad Amir congratulated Indian captain Virat Kohli on scoring 6000 Test runs. Kohli became the 10th Indian batsman to reach the landmark. In fact, Virat Kohli is the second quickest to the milestone after Sunil Gavaskar.
The Little Master took 117 innings whereas Kohli took two more innings as he got to 6000 Test runs in 119 innings. Meanwhile, Mohammad Amir and Virat Kohli share a great rivalry on the field. More importantly, both the talisman players share a mutual respect for each other while been off the field.
Virat Kohli had also said that Mohammad Amir is the toughest bowler he has faced in his career thus far. Amir was able to get the crucial wicket of Kohli in the final of the Champions Trophy. However, Kohli was able to guide India to an Asia Cup win in 2016 when Amir was breathing fire.
Consequently, it has been an even battle between the two players.
On the other hand, Virat Kohli is in fine form in the ongoing England tour. Kohli has already scored 486 runs in the seven innings he has played. The Indian captain has looked at the top of his game. Thus, Kohli has updated his England’s CV in style.
The right-hander has scored two fifties and two centuries as he has been the standout batsman of the series. India relies on heavily on the shoulders of Kohli and the Indian skipper has delivered the goods.
There were doubts raised over Kohli’s class in England as he had a mundane tour in 2014. However, he was able to come back strong to prove his mettle.
Here is Mohammad Amir post in which he congratulated Kohli.
Congrats brother keep going???
